Oh the rain is slowly fallin,
And my heart is so sore,
Six more miles and leave my darlin,
Never on this earth to meet no more.
Six more miles to the graveyard,
Six more miles, long and sad,
Six more miles and leave my darlin,
Leave the best friend, I ever had.
Oh I hear the train a-comin,
Bringin my darlin back home,
Six more miles, to the graveyard,
And Ill be left here all alone.
Six more miles to the graveyard,
Six more miles, long and sad,
Six more miles and leave my darlin,
Leave the best friend, I ever had.
---This last stanza was not included in the record ---
Left her in that lonely church yard,
Left my darlin alone,
Now Im sad, my heart is cryin,
As I wander thru life alone.
